The effect of talent management on innovation: Evidence from Jordanian Banks

Abstract

The concept of talent management has received great attention from scholars and practitioners. Despite this, there are few studies associated with the relationship between innovation and talent management. This study invokes human capital, McGregor’s X and Y, social exchange and employee attraction theories to examine the link between talent management, product innovation, process innovation and marketing innovation. A questionnaire is developed to collect the data from the study sample consisted of (120) employees in top and middle management positions. Collated data is analyzed with variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results from PLS-SEM suggest that talent management had a significant and positive impact on product, process and marketing innovations. Supplemental ANOVA analyses also reveal that organizational tenure was a strong determinant for talent management as well as product, process and marketing innovations.
